Speaking to Collider the actor said: "The sequel script is very, very good. It’s not some sequel. It’s a really cool script.
"Ol Parker, who writes them, is a brilliant man, and John Madden is going to direct again. He’s a wonderful, brilliant director. It’s a fantastic thing. I’m really pleased.
"There have been a few movies since then, of similar age range, which it’s inspired. It will be great. It will be nice to go back to Rajasthan.
"The first time is such a shock, so it will be quite nice to go back a second time. It will be great."
